  • Storms

    We got hit with a bad, bad storm yesterday.  It came through 3 times in very short bursts.  I was visiting my older adopted daughter at HSC and I just got into the building when (excuse the pun) all Hail broke loose.  I've never seen anything like it.  80 mile an hour winds drove the hail into windows and buildings.  My front windshield was cracked.  Many windows at HSC were broken.  I could barely hear the receptionists from the roar and sound of hail hitting the roof.  Visiblity was zero and the ground was completely white with hail. 

    What's the weather like where you're at?

  • Fall

    I love this season.  We lived in Southern California for 4 years and I so missed the seasons.  That's why I enjoy the midwest so much because of the change.  I think my favorite seasons are spring and fall.  I got a burst of energy yesterday and started cleaning my office. 

    What is your favorite season?

  • Say It!

    "You should really get off on the next stop of your ego trip."  That is something that I would love to tell a certain person. But I will never do that. 

    OK your turn.....

    Family Feud Question:  What is a place a couple goes on a honeymoon?

     

  • Favorite Place

    My wife and I go out every Sunday night on a date.  Yesterday we visited a young girl in the hospital about ready to give birth to twins and then we went out to HuHot.  We just love the Mongolian grill.  It's not our favorite place but it's up there on our list.  We had to travel over an hour to get there.

    What is your favorite place to go to?

    Psalms 27:10


     

  • Memories


    I always enjoy going back into my childhood and reliving memories.  I grew up behind a gas station that my Dad managed and owned.  If I wasn't on the roofs I was in the garage with all the old radios. I set it up like a space craft and went on many adventures. 

    What are some childhood memories you have?

    Family Feud Question: Name a President from history.

  • Church


    I look forward to going to church today.  I refill my tank for the rest of the week.   

    Do you look forward to church and what the name of your church?
    Bonus:  What do you do at your church?

  • Tax the Rich

    If you won a million dollars today, you would get approximately 640,000.  The government would get the rest.  That's a 36% tax.  

    What percentage of tax should the rich pay?

  • Debate



    I listened to the Republican Debates last night.  Here are some of the things I heard:
    Randy Tramp


    Gingrich - This budget committee is a dumb idea. -Get rid of secrecy

    Bachmann I choose to protect human life

    Bachmann - Took care of 23 foster kids
    Romney - I don't believe in raising taxes.
     
    Paul - If a church helps an illegal we shouldn't punish the church
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

    Concerning the statements: What do you agree with? What do you disagree with?

     

  • Your Opinion Needed


    Ted Bundy, in an interview, said that the society is a prisoner to a #value system.  The point he was making was a value system made up by a society couldn't be right.  Thus killing couldn't be wrong.
    A poll was conducted on whether people agreed or disagreed with the Newsweek picture of Michelle Bachmann.  Those that agreed didn't like her politically. 
    I have to wonder what happens to a country when the value system is tied to a political system.  We give the media free reign to do what ever they want as long as we don't like what the person is saying.  
    There was outrage over a candidate using a target in a campaign add, stating it is causing crazy people to kill.  Then the same party calls a group they don't agree with, terrorists.

    Does America have a collective value system?

    A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
    By a free country, I mean a country where people are allowed, so long as they do not hurt their neighbors, to do as they like. I do not mean a country where six men may make five men do exactly as they like. -Robert Cecil, British prime minister (1830-1903)
